I pretend to walk
I pretend to breathe
[I know you understandYou always did]
You prefer to talk
And I pretend to listen
[Three and countingI'm still waiting]
I just want to fly
The morning sun is shattered
[The smile is goneFrozen liquid carving stone]
It's time to close our eyes
As we pretend to care
[I keep stillAccrete the silence you don't fill]
I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
We spend a little time
Exchanging words and maybe
What you'd call emotion
But I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
I never meant to hurt
Still I'm spinning like a
Roundabout in motion
[Deceptive detachment from this world]
An echo from afar
The signal is too weak
[I know you understandYou always did]
You pretend to bide
So I pretend to smile
[Three and countingI'm still waiting]
I just want to fly
The medium is shaking
[Your voice is lowMelting shadows burning snow]
It's time to close our eyes
Forget what we were told
[I keep stillEmbrace the silence you don't fill]
I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
We spend a little time
Exchanging words and maybe
What you'd call emotion
But I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
I never meant to hurt
Still I'm spinning like a
Roundabout in motion
[Deceptive detachment from this world]
The more you want to feel free
The deeper your roots need to be
I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
We spend a little time
Exchanging words and maybe
What you'd call emotion
But I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
I never meant to hurt
Still I'm spinning like a
Roundabout in motion
[Deceptive detachment from this world]
